Arsenal Looking To Fill Mid With Phil Billing

As the rumors of Maitland Niles move heats up, this leaves Arsenal with only two recognizes midfielders to manage through the entire January fixture list. A list that is pilling up with all the postponed games we've seen over the last month.

I've mentioned a few players like Frank Kessie, Svanberg and Gini who could be possible options and now a fourth has entered the discussions in Bournmouths Phillip Billing. While the other players are all pretty recognized players who play in Europe's top leagues, Billing is a bit of a leftfield suggestion.

But with Maitland-Niles and Patino not fully ready for a regular start in the midfield Arsenal Gunners could be left with just Xhaka and Sambi Lokonga and if any injuries or suspensions come into play it could be a major issue.

The Danish international Billing is in great form for Bournemouth in the Championship with seven goals and four assists already. Arsenal has struggled for goals from midfield since Aaron Ramsey left, so Billing’s attacking intent and physical strength should be a winner.

The fact he is left-footed will be of interest as Arteta loves that balance, as we know from his reliance on Xhaka, who has almost had a free run in the team even if he isn't the best for the team.

The cherries aren't in the greatest position to negotiate for Billing so Arsenal could pick him up for a steal. If he proves a good signing that also softens the blow once they've moved on the rest of the midfield deadwood and I would be all too happy to see Billing push Xhaka out of the club.
